Unless money has been withdrawn from the account connected to the card after the card was last online.

True. But you can have a rule that says something like “after X offline transactions you must insert the card into an ATM for update”.

My thinking is that in this day and and age, unless something bad really happens (war, volcanic erruption), the chances of using a card for offline transactions for an extended period of time are very close to zero.
